Animation

Animation has become an increasingly useful tool to communicate your company story. It’s a great option when you don’t have access to video footage, or you wish to control your narrative more tightly. Animation can be used to strengthen your brand and provide engaging insights into your product or service.

Animation Process

Our animation process differs slightly based on the level of complexity involved, but tends to follow the following format.

Illustration style

If you don’t currently have a brand illustration style, a dozen eggs can develop one for you. In order to do this, we follow a very similar process to our brand process.

The script

This part of the process is down to you. If you need help crafting the script, we can point you in the direction of experts that can help refine your words. But, we think you are the best people to write the initial draft.

Storyboarding

Once the style has been established, we storyboard the script – with particular attention to movement and transitions. Ideally, we meet to go through the decisions made, and refine until the message is clear.

Animate

Then, we make it move! We combine the visuals with the sound to develop an animation that works for your business. At the end of the process, you will have a final animation that can be hosted on Vimeo / YouTube / your own site.

a dozen eggs are absolutely the team to brand and design – as an academic I had various fuzzy ideas about the kind of thing I wanted but the team were insightful, careful, inspiring and confident and produced stunning results. I recommend them to anyone I meet who could benefit from their cheerful, flexible and skilful work.
